2000 Colorado Rockies Statistics - Baseball-Reference
I hadn't realized just how good the Rockies were last year. An 87-75 pythagorean win-loss record is a pretty good single-season improvement. To be honest, their offense was their main problem, not their pitching. Using ERA+, which takes park effects into account, every one of their starters (except Brian Rose) was above league average. And their bullpen was remarkable. White - 2.17 ERA, Jimenez - 3.18 ERA, Myers - 1.99 ERA, DeJean - 4.89 ERA, Tavarez - 4.43 ERA.
As for their offense, only one regular had an OBP above .400 and only two had slugging percentages above .500. This offense was not very good, and it showed on the road as they hit just .252/.320/.368 on the road.
If they add a Roberto Alomar and get 550 at bats from Larry Walker this could be a very tough team to beat in the NL West. But it will be because of their pitching not their offense.
